YouTube Timestamp Link Generator
Build clickable YouTube timestamp links that jump to a specific moment in a video.
Linking to a moment
A YouTube link can point not just to a video but to an exact moment in it, which is perfect for sharing the part that matters or building chapters. This creates the correctly-formatted timestamp link from a video URL and a time, so clicking it starts the video right where you want.
Enter the video link and the time to get a jump-to link.
Timestamps and chapters
Timestamps are useful in two ways. Shared as a link, they take someone straight to the relevant moment instead of making them scrub through. Listed in a video's own description, a series of timestamps becomes clickable chapters that let viewers navigate long content — which improves the viewing experience and is favoured by the platform. Building the link correctly, with the time in the format YouTube expects, is what makes it actually jump rather than starting from the beginning. For anyone sharing or structuring video, it is a small touch that makes content much easier to use.
